        <p>Multiple instances of the large KB gazetteer processing resource share the same dictionary, thus saving memory when parallel annotation is implemented. The dictionary lifecycle specification explains in details how and when dictionaries are loaded during the initialization of the PR. This text is aimed at advanced users, that seek to understand the details, and developers, that intends to extends the gazetteer.</p>
